During the winter by simple experi
ments that may be performed in any
schoolroom the students learn of the
kinds of soil, the water holding power
of soils and means of altering such
i power, conservation of water and plant
! physiology.
j As spring approaches experiments In
I germlnatlou seed testing and seed
I planting follow, as well as planning
1 home gardens, gardens around school
'| buildings and vacation gardens. At
j tills season of the year, too, the work
; broaden*. It leaves the confines of
the normal schools and takes Ui all of
the public schools in the city. Arrange
ments are made with one of the local
seedsmen to sell penny packages of
seed to the children for home planting.
Many of the older teachers are not
trained, so to aid them the board of
education, through one of the normal
1 schools, issues sheets of simple in
structions to aid the children to cor
rectly plan, plant and care for the
home garden. They are encouraged to
care for the garden during the summer
and to bring something they have rais
ed wholly by themselves to thu flower
show in the fall. It may be a growing
plant, a bunch of flowers or a bottle of
seed.
Flower day is an established feature
of Washington schools. On the 20tli
of last September every school in the
District of Columbia invited the public
to its exhibit. All buildings were open
until dark, nini whese the buildings
were lighted they were open through
out the evening. The throngs of peo
pie who visited the schools gave suf
ficient proof of the appreciation of the
public for the movement.
Civic improvement is thus encouraged
I and nlso by school ground improve
i meut. Three years ago there was but
one gardeu connected with schools in
j the District. Last year 120 of the 121
graded schools made an effort to Im
prove their surroundings. The teach
ers are urged to relate whatever is
done outdoors to the subjects taught
In the schoolrooms. Skillful teachers
j relate geography, arithmetic, spelling,
composition, literature, drawing and
design to the garden.
The latest encouragement given bj
the department has been the offer ti
the board of education «112 more than
an acre of lawn to l>e used for cliil
dreu's gardens. The board has accept
j ed the offer and will put the first six
: grades of a school in the vicinity to
work upon it. Each school will spend
j an afternoon a week in the garden 1111-
i der the regular grade teacher, who will
I be Instructed from tlie normal school
t She will lie expected to relate the work
: closely to the regular schoolr .0111 work
i The time spent in the garden will !>t (
a part of school time and not aftei .
hours, as has been so frequently done j
before, thus making an added Imrdei. )
oil the teacher. Each < liilil will have j
a plot entirely his own, varying in si/? \
according to his ability. Beside these j
individual plots there \rill lie plots ten !
feet square of grains, forage crops and I
important local products for observn |
tlon purpose*.
The garden will be und r the imilie- |
1 dlate care of the normal ,ehool during
i vacation and will be considered as-a
' vacation school for the southwest sec- !
| tion of the city, thus fortunately allow- !
I lng the board of education to grant a
! petition from the parents of that sec j
I tlon requesting such an opportunity j
' for their children during the summer. 1

The sentiment in favor of there I
duction of the width of highways from ,
sixty to for'y feet appears to be be j
coiuing quite general. Petitions from '
landowners in the different states, we
learn, are being made to the highway
commissioners to this effect. The :
claim nmile is thaf too much land is
allowed to grow up to weeds by hav
ing the road so wide, as the extra ten ;
feet could be well utilized if taken into
the farm.* It is claimed also that by j
narrowing the legal width of highways !
a better road can be built and more
easily kept in go"d condition.

FRAUGHT WITH DANGER.
The Dual Tariff Si'li4»m«* SlriUcN H(
Ilome MurkctH.
The prosperous west has been led to
oelieve that a reduced tariff on maim
facturos would largely inure to its
netiefit, and for that reason it Is fa
vorable to any si.'heme of reciprocity
proposed. Hut the west loses sight of
die dangers of a reciprocity on any oth
er Hue than that proposed by the late
['resident McKiuley in his last public
•speech to his countrymen, when he de
clared in effect Hint there should be 110
i-eeipi-ic4ty that Interfered with the pro
tection of home Industry.
That is the line congress should hew
to in dealing with the subject. The
agricultural west also should remem
ber the inevitable truth that its pros
perity is due to the prosperity of the
manufacturing east and that any tariff
arrangement that threatens to endan
ger manufactures and labor will surely
have a disastrous effect 011 agriculture
by diminishing the home market for its
products. The dual tariff scheme is
fraught \rith danger, and congress will
be apt togo slow in its consideration
should it come before it.—Camden Cou
rier.

There are two main points in the
Philippine policy for which Secretary
Taft seems to stand. One is that when
a people who are utterly Incapable of
governing themselves have come with
in American control it is the right as
well as the duty of the American gov
ernment to administer their affairs in
the interest of civilization and prog
ress. That lie does not believe in self
ish exploitation of a weaker people by
a stronger is apparent from his plea
for the modification of the tariff laws
of the United States to admit of the
free entry of Philippine products to
the American market. Ilis liberal
views are also evidenced by his en
couragement of the American plans for
educating the rising generation of Fili
pinos, with the object of imparting to
the people of the islands a capacity for
self government and ultimately con
ceding them the political independence
which will be a boon to tlieni when
ttie.y are fit for it. but would be a curse
to them at the present time.- Milwau

| Free trade is an ideal theory. Reci
procity Is an approach to the ideal. If
all nations would do unto others as
they would have others do to them
trade could be carried on along Idea!
lines, but that is not the way of com
merce. and self defense is the law that
must govern.
When a man buys goods inn foreign
couHtry he gets the goods, but the for
eigner gets the money. The goods wear
out. but the money does not. It stays
In the foreign country, increasing its
wealth. When a man buys g >ods made
st home he gets the goods, and the
money stays at home, adding to the
wealth of the country. The men who
make the goods hei'e get good wages,
and the man who uses the goods gets
good material. The country benefits by
encouraging its own manufacturers. It
reciprocity could offer as good results
it would be a good thing, and it would
not be necessary to hold conventions to
advocate it. .Jersey t'itj Journal.
The Heal Cause-.
Free traders arc quick to claim that
the census figures just reported show
that the protective tariff Is not helping
our industries, but the real cause of
the failure of manufacturing to in
crease as much during the last live
years as during the preceding five
years is not hard to find. No one who
has traveled In the south and seen the
children who work In the mills there,
also the hours the mill hands work,
wonders that the cotton industry is
more profitable in the south than in
this state. Other industries may have
suffered ii: the .-.a me way. Tit■
